Chapter 86 The sophisticated Zeng Gongliang! (Second update!)

When Zhang Heng arrived at Zeng Mansion, Zeng Mansion immediately became lively.

Mrs. Zeng came after hearing the news and told Zhang Heng to stay for dinner in the evening.

Zeng Xiaochun rushed out of the study, much more enthusiastic than when Zeng Xiaokuan came back.

Zeng Xiaozong also rarely came out of the study. He saw Zhang Heng with a smile on his face, and chatted with Zhang Heng about how he was preparing for the scientific examination. Oh, Zeng Xiaozong will also participate in the scientific examination this year, but he didn't seem very confident.

Zeng Youwei came to the living room quietly, then called Brother Sanlang demurely, and then stayed quietly to listen to her brothers talking, but her slightly rising chest and reddish cheeks betrayed her.

Standing in an unnoticed place, her eyes were always shining slightly, and her little ears were raised to catch every word and word Zhang Heng said. When she heard Zhang Heng speak, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and saw

When Zhang Heng's gaze came over, she would smile.

Zhang Heng didn't pay special attention to Zeng Youwei, but he was a little surprised why the little girl suddenly became demure. She seemed to be more lively before, but she put the thought behind her in an instant. After all, at this age

Little girls think as they please, who knows what they are thinking.

Because today is not a holiday, Zeng Xiaokuan did not go home.

Zeng Gongliang came back a little earlier than usual. He looked very happy. When he saw Zhang Heng arriving, he was a little surprised and asked: "How come Ju Zheng also knows about it, and you are so well-informed?"

Hearing this, Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Teacher, you have been promoted. Well, let me guess, you are...a Hanlin bachelor?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "I asked you how could you be so well-informed? How could you know about the news that was just announced today? Why, there are other things?"

Zhang Heng nodded with a smile, but did not say anything. Instead, he smiled and said: "Congratulations to the teacher, Teacher He Xi. It's a pity that I really didn't know about this today, otherwise I wouldn't have come empty-handed."

Zeng Xiaozong said with a smile: "If you bring something here, I'm afraid my mother will throw it out with you. My mother said that you three brothers are not outsiders. If you dare to bring something to the door, don't come here again!"

Zhuo Gongliang, Zhang Heng, Zeng Xiaochun and others burst into laughter together.

Mrs. Zeng came over after hearing this and said with a smile: "Well, if any of my family members bring gifts when they go home, isn't that just an outsider? If you dare to do this, Ju Zheng, I will definitely throw you and the gifts together."

Get out, it’s not a joke!”

Zhang Heng didn't even dare, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "Master's wife, look, I just came with a mouth to eat and drink!"

Zeng Gongliang laughed again.

After the family had a warm and cozy meal, Zeng Gongliang called Zhang Heng to the study. He asked Zhang Heng before, but Zhang Heng didn't talk about it directly, so he knew that the matter was probably quite sensitive and it was not convenient to talk about it in front of everyone.

Zhang Heng first said: "Has the teacher been promoted to a Hanlin bachelor?"

Zeng Gongliang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I will change it to Hanlin bachelor's degree and be sentenced to the third class."

Zhang Heng felt happy for Zeng Gongliang when he heard this: "The officials really appreciate you very much, teacher. You have only been in office for less than a year, and you have been promoted to Hanlin bachelor."

Zeng Gongliang was quite flattered: "Being a teacher and officials are really compatible... Well, being a teacher is getting along with many people, and being a teacher has a good personality.

When you become an official in the future, you should also get along well with your fellow officers. Don't be surprised if you are polite to others. Everyone likes humble people.

Don't think you're arrogant, as those people won't be able to go far in the officialdom."

Zhang Heng said yes repeatedly.

Zeng Gongliang smiled: "Oh, I don't need to tell you this. Ju Zheng, you are a polite and humble person. I don't worry about you. If you enter the officialdom, you will definitely do better than me."

Zhang Heng suddenly felt dumbfounded. Is this a compliment to himself, or is he saying that he is too naughty?

But looking at Zeng Gongliang’s appearance, he really praised himself.

Well, what Zeng Gongliang said is right.

Zhang Heng suddenly remembered something: "Disciple heard that there are many and mixed officials in the third class courtyard. If you don't bribe them, you can't refuse. Most of the noble children rely on their power to ask for an audience. In this case, if you want to do something, I'm afraid you have to do something.

Offensive."

Zeng Gongliang nodded and said: "That's true..."

The Third Class Courtyard is responsible for selecting the Third Class Envoys. The so-called Third Class Envoys are military attachés. The Third Class Courtyard manages the group of military attachés, and this group is mostly made up of aristocratic children. They often rely on their power to interfere in school entrance exams and improve their performance.

Therefore, Zhang Heng said that this position could easily offend people, and Zeng Gongliang also thought so.

"...However, don't think that the teacher will fool you. You have been a teacher for so long, and apart from revising your articles, the teacher has not taught you much. Today I will teach you a lesson. From now on, you will enter the official career.

Also remember..."

Zhang Heng quickly pricked up his ears.

Seeing that Zhang Heng was very concerned, Zeng Gongliang nodded with satisfaction and said: "...it is appropriate to be lenient when it comes to the superiors, and strict when the emperor is in charge. You must work hard on your own work, and don't be anxious about extraneous matters. Do you understand?"

Zhang Heng chewed every word.

He is not flattering, but is seriously thinking about it. This is the true biography of Zeng Gongliang. Zeng Gongliang is a famous political evergreen in the Song Dynasty. Most people do not have this opportunity to learn about his true meaning of being an official.

Don't say that Zhang Heng is a time traveler, and then he can kill everyone in the officialdom. There is no such thing in the officialdom. If it is a dragon, you have to coil up, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down.

Zhang Heng thought about it carefully, with a look of admiration on his face: "Teacher really understands the true meaning of officialdom. The disciple understands."

Zeng Gongliang was a little worried: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Be generous with your superiors, which means that you should not contradict your superiors, and it is best to follow your superiors' wishes; you should be strict with your subordinates, which means that you need to be more strict and meticulous in managing your subordinates, and do not be angry and authoritative; do your job

When you are working, you must be diligent about your work and not be careless at all, but don’t be too worried about extraneous matters, it’s almost enough.”

Zeng Gongliang laughed: "Sure enough, my vision is correct. You were born to be an official. Some people who have been officials all their lives may not be able to understand these words. After you enter the official career, don't feel that this is the case."

Generally speaking, you are not arrogant enough. When you are an official, you must look at the overall situation and don't be arrogant personally. Only when you reach a certain position can you do what you want to do."

Zhang Heng nodded to express his understanding.

Zeng Gongliang sighed: "Sanbanyuan is indeed a tricky job, but as long as it is an important job, which one is not tricky? The more difficult the job, the more likely it is to be successful. Although Sanbanyuan is complicated, as long as you grasp it

If you stick to one key, you will be foolproof. Does Ju Zheng know what it is?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "When it comes to appointments and surveys, we must firmly grasp it in our hands and not delegate this power to others."

Zeng Gongliang said with great joy: "A child can be taught, a child can be taught!..."

Zeng Gongliang laughed.

"...Ju Zheng really gave me a big surprise, hahahaha!"

After laughing, Zeng Gongliang looked at Zhang Heng with very kind eyes and said: "Yes, this is the key, this is my duty, as long as I firmly grasp this piece of power, my subordinates will not be able to overturn the situation.

As for the aristocratic children, let's talk about it separately. As long as we have a good grasp of the other party's family background, we can make a decision by ourselves whether we should give something or not.

Some people can be offended, and some people cannot be offended. They are all in your hands. This mission is considered completed!

If you let your subordinates act recklessly, and ask your subordinates to sell it to whomever you offend, the favor belongs to others, but the person you offend belongs to you, and your future will be gone."

Zhang Heng was sincerely convinced.

It is really not a fluke that Zeng Gongliang can become an evergreen tree in the political arena!

Although what Zeng Gongliang said is quite vulgar, and he seems to be an official fanatic, but as Zeng Gongliang said, officialdom is not about dignity, but about structure.

At this moment, Zeng Gongliang relaxed a little, but he did not forget to ask Zhang Heng the reason for his visit.

Zhang Heng had already made plans in his mind and discussed the matter of annihilating Wuyou Cave.

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Ziming has repeatedly praised you to my teacher for your thoughtfulness and your ability to do great things. I also know a lot about Wuyou Cave. You came here today to ask me about the arrangements between Fan Wuji and Tong Boding."

Something?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said honestly: "My disciple wants to bring them under his command. Although they are just like chickens and dogs, they still have some effects.

The disciple wants them to control Wuyou Cave, and then some restaurants and brothels, so that we can also get some information.

In the future, if the teacher has the opportunity to inform the Admonition Institute or if the disciple becomes a censor, he can use this information, but this matter is a bit sensitive, so the disciple would like to come over and ask the teacher for your opinion."

Zeng Gongliang's face suddenly became solemn, and after thinking for a while he said: "It's not impossible, but it must be clearly defined. Even if something happens to them one day and they try to bite you, you can escape safely. Especially when it comes to money, it must not be possible."

There is a slight connection, do you understand?"

Zhang Heng was suddenly shocked and nodded quickly: "Teacher, you are right, the disciple almost made a mistake..."

He quickly told the soap business, Zeng Gongliang frowned, thought for a while and said: "Find someone else to do this business, don't get involved with them."

Zhang Heng smiled bitterly: "This disciple has no one on hand, otherwise, this business will be left to you, teacher."

Zeng Gongliang was a little moved, but then he flatly refused: "No, this business should be your own, and you should also have an industry to settle down and live in..."

He waved his hand to stop Zhang Heng: "...Don't talk to me about the business of the mall. That belongs to Neizangku. Neizangku belongs to the government. Now Lu Yining is in control. You have a share in this mall.

, but if you let others take control of it, you have to decide whether this share is yours or not."

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Teacher, how dare they do this while you are here?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know how greedy and rampant the people in Cao... are. I don't want to conflict with them. Money is not important. Remember this."

Zhang Heng was silent for a moment.

Zeng Gongliang said: "So, you have to start this industry well. I won't give you anyone here. You have to find your own talents. You can rely on your own talents."

Zhang Heng frowned, his mind running wildly, and suddenly a face of national peace and prosperity popped up in his mind, and he raised his eyebrows.

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Why, is there someone to choose?"

Zhang Heng quickly explained Chang Da's situation. Zeng Gongliang listened attentively and asked some questions from time to time. After Zhang Heng introduced the situation clearly, Zeng Gongliang said: "You can leave the business to her.

, However, you must bring her into your house, but she can be a concubine, but she can never be your main wife, and don’t give her a title now, she will be given after you marry your main wife.”

Zhang Heng was speechless.

When Zeng Gongliang saw that his disciple was so hopeless, he immediately laughed and said: "You are such a smart person on weekdays, why are you so naive about this kind of thing?

In order to cultivate one's moral integrity and govern one's family, one must also have means to manage one's family. If you understand this as soon as possible, you will not fall into trouble!

The best way to control a woman is to make her your woman. Only when she becomes your woman can she be worthy of your trust, you know!"

Zhang Heng admitted that what Zeng Gongliang said was right, but after all, it was still a bit difficult to accept, so he could only accept it.

Zeng Gongliang heard his reluctance and didn't say much. The maturity of young people is not achieved in a day. Sometimes it is not necessarily a bad thing for young people to stumble.

But he was still a little worried. Before leaving, he warned: "Remember, you can't be a wife, you can only be a concubine!"
